If games like Assassin's Creed 2, Call of Duty 4 pt. 2, Fallout 3, Mass Effect 2, Gears 3, Halo 4, GTA V, Final Fantasy XIV were xbox exclusives, they'd be walking all over Nintendo.

No, because Nintendo expanded the market to casual, there are more of them then traditional gamers.

 

 

      Without taking the Americas market into consideration, this past week, the 360 and PS3 combined have already sold a combined 65,022 more units than the Wii.  

This is so stupid, your assuming those that baught a PS3 would switch to xbox if all that shit above was true. I for one would never, as 360 hardware has been a piece of crap from day one. Sure they have fixed most the issues, but how many games have I missed out on because of this long wait?

Then you have fanboys who will never go multiplatform and die with the one brand they always baught.

Then you also have people who hate Microsoft.

Some of those PS3 would have been baught as Blu-Ray players, do to shops pushing them as a multimedia device for homes rather then gaming consoles.

So many factors to consider before you can make a call like that. 

     I'm assuming that if there wasn't a Playstation console as any kind of a major player in Western videogames and that if Nintendo's next gen console is only about as powerful in respect to today's PS3 and 360 as the Wii is to the original xbox while Microsoft's next console is affordable yet the kind of machine that could easily more than run Crysis at its highest settings, then the kinds of third parties and third party games we haven't seen on the Wii this gen would still be being made in large numbers on Mivrosoft's next console while they probably wouldn't be on Nintndo's next console.

 

If there wasn't a playsation then Nintendo and SEGA would still be fighting it out lol.

but lets play your game. If Sony didn't exist,

 

Nintendo wouldnt of got killed some much on the gamecube, they probably would of gotten most the support then and won actually, because all the japanese games went to ps2 instead of gamecube.

Nintendo would have one competitor this gen.

Nintendo would play it safe and release a HD console without motion controls and get all the exclusives and Win again, because japanese would still buy Nintendo other xbox, so all Japanese games would be on Nintendo first. ie FFXIV, MGS5 DQIX etc.., which alot of people play in the west anyway. Then you have Nintendo game line up which people would buy.

So suddenly your exclusives list as good as it is starts getting overshadowed by Nintendos games + 3rd party Japenese game. But if the HD Wii was killing the 360 then those exlucises too would go multiplatform or move to Nintendo. So all you would really have left is Halo 4.

 

This is my version of hwo things would have folded out, but we will never know as assumptions are not reality.
